JJMooray Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hello, I have an Epiphone Wilshire that I bought from a guy over 20 years ago and I'm thinking about selling because I'm really an acoustic guy. I'm trying to find out some information about it, particularly what year it is. I've attached a photo with the serial number on it. I put a new bridge on it a few years ago and the grover tuners came with it but the previous owner must have done that. Any information about this guitar would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 The serial number dates it to 1964. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ES335Pro Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Nice! I've never played one but it's on my radar. The old Epiphone site use to have one made in their Japan shop, drooled over it many nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
